Exchange 2010 Public Folder Auto Reply using Outlook 2007 not working

I hope someone can help with this issue as I am loosing hair trying to find the fix!

My Set-Up:

Exchange 2010 Standard with Public Folders
I have FULL rights to all public fodler (owner, contact etc)
I have Send as permissions to all public fodlers
I rebooted my PC
I am using

OL 2007

I right click on a public folder called test
I click on the Administration tab
I click on Folder Assistant
I click on Add Rule
I tick the box called "Reply With"
I click on Template
I create the response "Thank you for your email"
I click on the cross and try to save/enable the template
It asks me if I want it to firefor all incoming messages and I say yes
I click on OK and get an erro "changes to therule cannot be saved"

To try and resolve this message, I tried the following:

Save the template before I click on the X as an oft file - same error when I try and OK out of the Folder Assistant

Change the Auto Reply from HTML to Plain txt - same error

No matter what stpes I have taken to resolve the issue, I have the exact same issue. Please can someone help?

Hi, I'm having the same problem.
I can save a delete rule, but it won't save the reply rule.
I don't get any errors, just when I reopen the folder assistant, the reply rule is gone...
If you hear anything from MS, can you please post it here?
Thanks in advance

Nope it's not working :(
When I create a rule and select reply, make a template, click save and ok, the apply button stays grey.
When I then click again on folder assistant, the newly created rule is already gone.

I did however also clear the dney option on the receive as for severale groups where this user is part of (domain admins, enterprise admin, public folder admin, ...)

Do you feel like you are taking up all of your time constantly visiting users’ desks to make changes to email signatures? Wish you could manage all signatures from one central location, easily design them and deploy them quickly to users? Well, there is an easy way!

May be this helps !!!
But I had the sendas permissions issue on mailboxes. After days of research we discoverd this is also due to Offline address Book outlook cached mode.
If this related to particular mailboxes advice users to disable chached mode and re-enable it. ( This does something to OAB as well).
How often does the OAB refresh?

This is a major problem and the fix provided is a VERY dangerous hack. A valid solution should work for any user given permission via either Outlook, the Exchange Management Console or the Exchange Management Shell.
